If I claimed you could be mastering public speaking and improve your public speaking confidence with a 5-minute exercise, would you think me?

I don’t suppose you would because I know how frightening public speaking can be.

I have been there on the sidelines waiting to go onto the stage, sweating, dry mouth and scared as hell!

Then a few years back, I attended a course run by Dr Richard Bandler ( co-creator of Nuro-Linguestic Programming NLP as it is generally known ). It was a self-discovery course with only a few of us attending so we got real hands-on attention from Richard. Amongst the countless lessons from the course, I remember one of the delegates asserting to Richard I’m just not an assured person. Richard announced in return Are you sure? Do you know what the person said? Of course I bloody well am. They actually didn’t lack confidence!

Richard went on to clarify that everyone is assured it is just they’re confident about the incorrect things. This delegate was super-confident about their idea that they have no confidence.

How would you feel if you could turn yourself into the most confident person you could be, if you required to?

Imagine going onto stage to present feeling just as confident when you were promoted or just finished a10 mile run or asked somebody out on a date and they announced ‘yes’. Well you can and all it takes is practice.

This appears to have been an exercise from Dr Richard Bandler, which all super successful individuals use. Know ituse itand you could be like them.

Try this 5-minute exercise:

Imagine a time when you were super-confident

Remind yourself what occurred

What were folks pronouncing to you?

How did you feel?

What did you see?

Was there any particular sounds or smells?

Are you painting the picture of when you felt super-confident?

Make the picture actually bright and big

How do you feel right now?

More confident then you did 5 minutes ago?

Mostdefinitely.

By recalling past experiences and allowing the feelings to spread all over you, you are telling your brain the experience is happening right now in this moment.

This is a straightforward exercise to boost your confidence.

Try completing the exercise each morning and evening and feel that confidence wash all over you. Allow the exercise to become one of your new habits.

Complete the exercise next time you are about to go onto the stage and in public speak and need a confidence boost.

I have no doubt you will be on your way to mastering public speaking and your public speaking confidence will soar.
